General Interests
I love reading (no, really! LOL), writing (of course), cooking Italian and Mexican food, EATING Italian and Mexican food, ice skating (to burn off all those calories), horsebackriding, discovering new places, getting to know other Christians, and walking with our Lord.
Music
Just about everything. I enjoy listening to whatever my mood calls for, but always sweetest to my ears and heart is my son's heaven-sent gift for piano.
Books
Also, quite a mix: Roseanne Bittner, Lori Wick, Lori Copeland, LaVyrle Spencer, Julie Garwood, John Grisham, Sydney Sheldon, Michael Crichton, Dean Koontz, Judith McNaught, Diana Gabaldon, and Linda Lael Miller.
Movies/TV
Ahhh, the movies! I have quite a range of what I enjoy--too much to list here! =)
Published Works
Love's Rescue (2009)
A Dividing Conflict
In 1863, the War Between the States is dividing more than a nation. To escape the conflict, Jessica Hale and her family flee their Kentucky home and head for Nevada Territory. Her brother, Ambrose, committed to the Confederates, rejoins the Kentucky militia and is disowned by his father. But the worst is yet to come.

A Heroic Kidnapper
When Unionists presume the family to be Confederate sympathizers, they set a devastating fire to their home. All alone and then "kidnapped" by cattleman Jake Bennett, Jessica is taken to a ranch deep in the Sierra Nevada wilderness. Can she overcome her resentment toward Jake
for failing to save her family?

The Depths of Love
When Jake launches a plan to help Jessica's brother escape from prison camp, she sees him for the honest, good-hearted Christian man that he is and now knows the depth of his love for her. Through the lingering smoke and smoldering ashes from her ruined home and murdered family, will Jessica see a future with Jake?

About Tammy Barley
Welcome, friends!

I have lived in twenty-seven places in eight states (so far). I love horses, mountains, and great love stories, so I write Western romances.

Love's Rescue, the award-winning, best-selling book one of my new Sierra Chronicles Trilogy, comes with a nifty contest: WIN A ONE-WEEK WESTERN GUEST RANCH RESORT VACATION FOR TWO! For details, visit http://tammybarley.com/Bookshelf.html (Web site link below and to the left). View the book trailer below!

When I'm not writing? I judge a number of top writing contests and love my work as a manuscript editor and biographer. I am also Mom to two sons, one daughter, a rescued American Eskimo dog, ten parakeets, and an aquarium full of fish. The children I homeschool; the dog I taught to sit. She also barks at parked cars.

If you love Western and Prairie Romances, find your favorite authors and their newest releases, all in one place. Visit the Western and Prairie Romance Authors List at TammyBarley.com. Discover What's New in Christian Fiction.

A big wave to fellow ACFWers.

I look forward to meeting you all!
